TDE / LOB performance issue
Hi all !
After running TDE almost 3 years now we're getting performance issues related to LOB's.
The app is moving records (including a BLOB' column) to a "history" table , i.e insert into hist_tablename1 (select * from tablename1 where ...)
From taking a few sec we're now reaching several minutes in exec time.
After running diff. perf/tuning tools (AWR etc) without finding any extraordinary we're puzzled what's causing the delays.
Running the same code on the standby/cloned db the exec times are normal so we suspect it's the load on the server ...
Our theory/question is:
Can TDE cause contention caused by large amounts of encrypt/decrypt activities !?
